wow same set up and same car.... sweet....

 

feel your pain, $1000 to get mine already.

 

waiting til xmas and hoping they show up under the tree!

 

I just ordered a invisible bra as well going to get aligned next week putting my defusers on as well to try and keep crap out of my motor bay and raise my stance suspension oild change balance and rotation

 

its AWD what more do you need other then some good tires

 

With the paint the way it is (thin) in my opinion you need mud flaps and a bunch of 3m otherwise your car will look like crap after one winter. Rocks, sand, and salt are a killer up here.

 

For my new MR:
Just ordered a set of blizzaks to be installed next week, ~900$. Getting mud flaps in mail for 30$. Scheduled appointment for paint protection film installation 699+tax. So total about ~1700$.

 

Good work.... you wont have to complain about thin paint if your doing that.....

 

I hear ya brotha, just bought tires, 3m film for the hood and fenders, and weathertech....still might buy a winter beater too

 

That will break the bank!

 

That's an incentive to wash your car more often not a reason to garage a car for the winter!

 

feel your pain..i bought of set of stock wheels just for winter tires..i also bought rally armor mud flaps (those i just used winter as a excuse for lol)

 

Where can Rally Armor mud flaps be purchased in Canada/Ontario/London area? I need to get some and the only place I am aware of is the Rally Armor website...any other shops that carry them in Ontario?

The stealership wants $365 for a set!!!!

 

Im getting new tires (btw tirerack rocks!) and trying to get weathertech floor mats but their customer service... geez. Its easier to get a hold of a deaf and blind person... I dont want to just order the mats for "Lancer" and end up not fitting them in the evo. So im trying to phone order the damn mats.... Im at round 2 of getting a hold of em now. Round one: they wont, i waited 42 minutes on the phone and the line dropped when I was number 1 in que...
Round two: Been 16 minutes now and lets see if the line gets dropped again...

edit: finally won round 2, mats ordered... $197...

So my winter prep cost was a little under 1k, without mudflaps since I dont need em where I live.

lol. Good one, too bad with that method you wont enjoy the evo on snow

 

This is how I get my car ready for winter:
1) Park it in the garage.
2) Admire it when I walk passed it.
3) Wait for winter to end.
